Light Therapy

Ditch the self-help book and step into visual-art solace

Is the latest Eckhart Tolle tome not doing it for you in the enlightenment department? Then you may want to check out the Spiritual Homecoming exhibit that features work by multi-media artists Bridget Conn, Toshi Ueshina, and Ron Bimrose. Conns three-dimensional installations engage familial ritual through found objects, beeswax, cinnamon, and teabags, while Ueshinas dramatic sepia-toned photo collages are created from cracked images and accidental chemical patterns.

One of our faves in this show is Bimroses Chicago freeway photograph thats painted with breathy strokes and washes of white. Look closely and youll see that Bimrose  who says that his work filters down into the juxtaposition between man and nature  has also captured three birds that tunnel out of the blank sky.

Mondays-Thursdays, Saturdays. Starts: March 9. Continues through April 15, 2010
